Application filed March 26, 1923. Serial No. 627,685.

V which the following is a specification.

In carrying out the present invention is my purpose to provide an improved oil burner that will embrace the desired features of simplicity, durability and efficiency,

. the device comprising relatively few parts and these so corela'te'd as to reduce theliability of derangement to a minimum.

A further purpose of my invention resides in the provision of such a burner wherein the burner pan or tray may be readily removed from the main body of the burner for facilitating the replacement of parts for, the cleaning of the same-whenever de sirable. Y

A still further purpose of the invention is the provision of such a device that may effectively burn the less expensive grades of fuel, it being herein well to note that there is mixed with this fuel a charge of steam which will effectively reduce the fuel consumption and at'the same time provide as high a degree of heat'as would otherwise be obtained through the burning of more expensive grades of fuel.

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detailed description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as claimed. 1 V

In the drawings forming part of this application, like numerals of reference indicate similar and wherein:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of my improved oil burner;

Figure 2 is a detail cross. sectional view thereof;

Figure 3 is a longitudinal cross section upon the line 3-3 of Figure-1 and Figure 4 is a cross section of a modified form of burner nozzle.

Referring to the drawings in detail, 5 designates the main body of the burner which is in the form of a hollow goose neck having one end reduced at 6 for providing a shoulder 7.

parts in the several views,

The burner pan ortray is designated'S i Q "el and 1S of a well known constructlon, this .pan' or tray'Sbeingformed with an ex? tension 9, the endof this extension being in turn formed'with a sleeve or c0llarf1'0. This sleeve or collar 10 is positioned over the said reduced end 6 of the goose' neck body 5, the upperedge'thereof having close contact with the said shoulder 7. Any de-v sirable means may be provided for securing the same to the reduced end of the body 5, the same being preferably in the form ofaset screw 11. j Upon theextension 9 at the pan. or tray" 8 is a water tank 12, this tankbeing equi ped with an outlet pipe. 13 that extends up- :wardly and forwardly and is coiled at 14.

Secured at one end within an opening of the said tank ,12 is a pipe section 15, the

opposite end thereof being providedwith a coupling 16 whereby the said, pipe'seotion may be connected ter supply.

I The top wall of the goose neck body 5 I adjacent one end. thereof is provided with an opening within whichis a tube 17, it being noted from a consideration of Figure 2 that the lower end of this tube terminates at a point inwardly of the front end of the body.

The free end of the said outlet pipe 13 is secured in any manner desirable in the upper end of the tube 17 and secured-within an opening upon one side of the tube and adjacent its upper end is one end of an oil pipe 18, this pipe being provided with a coil portion 19 as well as a coupling 20 upon its opposite end. This coupling 20 is adapted for connecting the oil pipe 18 to a source of fuel supply.

to a source of Wa- The pan or tray. 8 is provided with a drain pipe 21 and in view of the above description it will, of course, be apparent that air is adapted for passage through the goose neck body 5 and that when the tank 5 is filled with water the heat from the burner will effectively generatesteam, after which the same is mixed with the oil in the tube 17, the coil portion 19 within the pipe 18 facilitating vaporization of the fuel.

In the form of the structure as illustrated in Figure 4 of the drawing, the nozzle tube is indicated at 17fand is con nected with a fitting which is adapted. to pass through the top of the body 5,

nected. A nipple, 27 is disposed centrally of the fitting 25 and the nozzle 17 and is spaced from both of the said parts. The

'upper end of the nipple 27 communicates with a pipe 13, hereinbefore described, and which admits the vapor, steam or water into the burner nozzle. By reason of this structural arrangement, the vapor, steam or water may be carbureted at the nozzle by mixture with the oil or oil vapor, and when the mixture is thus enriched, an intenselyj hot flame maybe produced upon the pan or tray 8.

Although I have. herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is nevertheless to be understood. that minor changes may be made thereinywithout. departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by "Letters Patent is;

1'. A burner comprising, a tray, a gooseneck body mounted. thereon and having! one of its ends communicating with an openingwhich passes transversely through the tray and. having its other end spaced above the upper surface of the tray, a water tank mounted upon the tray and located within the, heat zone of the flame of the burner,

' gamma atube disposed through the upper side of the goose-neck member and having its dis through the tray and having itsother end spaced above the upper surface of the'tray' a tank mounted upon the tray within. the

heat zone of the flame of the burner, a'tube' disposed through the upper side of the goose-neck member and having its discharge end'spaced above the upper surface of the tray, a pipe connecting the tubewith the tank, and a nozzle passing transversely through the upper side of the goose-neck member and surrounding the' discharge end 7 of the said tube and spaced fromand having its lower end disposed below the lower end of the said tube, and means for ad mi'tting oil into the upper. endof the said nozzle.
